I am getting really close to burning out with my tanks. Its not that I don't have the time, but I just can't find any setups that interest me. Right now I have 75g that's sitting empty. I've got everything to set it up but need to know what put in it. Unless I can find something interesting I'll either sell it or use it for a sump. Any ideas.

If you haven't yet, I'd go Tanganyikan; the space is a pretty good size for one of my favorites, the Cyprichromis. You also have other options like Paracyprichromis and Shellies that you could house with them (and of course all those other Tanganyikans that I haven't quite looked up). Of course, Synodontis are an option. Alternatively, if you don't have small fish there is even a spiny eel species that can be chosen from.

Well what has interested you before? Everyone has different preferences and while I can suggest my favorite fish I can't even begin to guess what you might find interesting. If you've kept fish long enough to feel burned out then you've probably kept several species and have some you like more than others. Research or ask about species similar to those you've liked before and go from there.

I've thought about natives but I don't think the space is big enough to do it right. I've thought about tangs before too and got very serious about it. I had a stock list and everything, but the cost was just too much.

Have you considered attempts at breeding difficult species or a species that hasn't been bred in captivity? You may just need a greater challenge than just keeping fish.

The process of researching and then the documentation of your attempts and results may challenge you enough to put the interest back into it.

"I've thought about natives but I don't think the space is big enough to do it right."

It's plenty big enough. Check out what minnows, darters, sculpins, and other small fish you have have in your area and go collecting (which is really fun). Setting up a native community tank is much more interesting than having a single large Sunfish or Perch, since it is pretty much just like putting a single big cichlid in a tank (which is boring).

It's really fun to go out and collect the native fish and aquatic plants in your area. I did it all the time in the summer. Plus if you live in the eastern US, you get darters (which are some of the most colorful fish found anywhere in the world when breeding).
